, CRUDE OIL
Crude oil is found in the Earth’s crust and is the remains of organi
that lived and died millions of years ago (mainly plankton).
Crude oil is a mixture very large compounds, mostly hydrocarbon
Hydrocarbons = molecules made up of hydrogen and carbon only
Most hydrocarbons in crude oil are those called alkanes.
Crude oil is an important source of fuels such as petrol, diesel and
kerosene. It is also an important source of feedstock for the
petrochemical industry.
Feedstock = raw material used to provide reactants for an industrial reacti
such as ethene being used to make polyethene.
